Happy Hallow-bust.

You'll have to excuse my absence, I've been quite busy with healing myself from swine flu and then I've been very occupied with Halloween pics on facebook, I've got priorities you know, I've got people to judge, chubby girls in small outfits to size up. I'm only kidding, I actually admire the girls who are confident enough to prance around in the teeny tiny nurse, cop, and childhood fairytale character costumes without any sort of inhibition. After much research on facebook albums I have come to my conclusion regarding the costumes this year. They lacked overall creativity. I'm sorry, but this is my opinion. I saw five too many Tom Cruises from Risky Business, c'mon people this was the costume of the early 2000's. Throw on a dark wig and a diaper under that white blouse shirt and go as Suri instead, just a thought. It doesn't take too much extra thought, really. Also, where were all the dead Michael Jackson's? I honestly hoped I would be seeing a lot more of him, perhaps I am just looking in the wrong albums though. Okay, one girl I did see out (out in Norfolk is where I spent my Halloween thanks to H1N1) had a dark wig and 8 tiny plastic babies taped to her chest and she was octo mom, I really liked that one. I also happened to see a former high school teacher dressed as a fairy, complete with white hooker heels and all. That was awkward. Speaking of Norfolk fun, I ran into a fellow classmate, let's just say this was a girl I didn't exactly see eye to eye with. Well anywho she wasn't dressed up, too cool I assume, and so I tried to be polite and strike up a friendly conversation,
"So where is your costume tonight?"
At which point said girl turns to me and very rudely replies,
"I didn't dress up."
To which I reply,
"Oh, I get it, you're a high school bitch. With the stick up the ass and everything. Very original."
I didn't say that, I only thought about saying it. I don't' quite have the normal fight in me because of my illness right now, I'm a bit beaten down. So between old teacher run ins, and ex classmate encounters my Halloween '09, to say in the least, was not the best one I have had. Oh well, what can you do. I just don't think you can top the Halloweens from freshman or sophomore year of college when you had to have like 4 or 5 costumes and the parties all involved ice looshes (I know thats not how you spell it but I'm too lazy to figure out the right way) and vodka pulls and kegs on end. No, nothing beats those days I've figured out. I was on campus today to speak with my advisor about the class I am yet to start but need to finish in order to graduate in December. I took a moment to sit in the crib and just reflect. Even the homeless people made me feel nostalgic for college 2005-06. I wanted to grab the young girl in the booth next to me by the cheeks and pull a Billy Madison and tell her to never leave college, never leave college!!! But then the parking ticket on my car when I left the Union reminded me of the things I don't miss, like the bastards at UNL parking and transit.
